Yep, talked to a few of the rangers and they weren't going to look for boats. Only taking the ones left right at the trail head on the pond or if they are chained near the launch. The forest rangers realise how valuable a boat is in a rescue mission. I have always done ok off shore in most ponds. It is just a pain since there is usually only one access point and if someone is there you are fighting to fish somewhere else. I'm betting there will be allot more spots to fish off shore after people get to these ponds and there are no boats to use......
